Want to stop crash dieting? Crash diets may work in the short term but do not usually provide a long term weight loss solution. One can easily be tempted to go on a crash diet, especially when a special event looms upon the horizon.

Perhaps you want to lose weight to fit into your ideal wedding dress, or you want to have a great bikini body for when you go on vacation. Maybe you would like to be able to show off your six pack abs and know that your trouser belt isn't attempting to slice you in two. As that special event gets closer and you can still feel those excess pounds sitting on your waist and hips a crash diet can easily appear to be the only way in which you can lose weight quickly enough.

Nobody can deny that crash diets can work very well and you feel fantastic as you start to lose weight quickly. You see instantaneous results as you stand on the bathroom scales (naked of course, having taken off your watch) every morning and see that you have lost another pound or two of that annoying jiggling fatty tissue. (You choose to turn a deaf ear to those who say it's just water!)

You stand and look in the mirror whilst breathing in and see how flat your stomach can look. Wow, that's motivating isn't it? It feels really good to see your slimmer self smiling back at you. And of course this extra motivation helps you to keep dieting that little bit longer and you lose weight easily. The only problem though with crash diets is that they are rarely sustainable.

Crash diets tend to be too restrictive and not necessarily very healthy or practical. I mean, if you are only eating a single carrot for breakfast and a couple of lettuce leaves for lunch life becomes less enjoyable and altogether harder, not to forget the fact that your energy levels will probably be at rock bottom. Your body does need fuel; you do need to eat a certain number of calories, and some of these need to be fatty ones.

We all know that what is needed is balance and moderation in our eating habits and then this will be reflected in our weight. Crash diets work in the short term but they are not a long term weight loss solution. They do not help you to stay slim forever.

Crash diets can be very useful though as a way to get you to start losing weight and motivate you to make changes in your lifestyle and eating habits. Some people need to see that they have lost some weight before they believe that they can truly change. In this sense, crash diets can be the trigger which allows you to get off the starting block to a long term weight loss solution. Before very long though, you need to adjust to a more moderate weight loss approach, one which is sustainable over time.

Everyone is different. We therefore require a weight loss approach with fits with our own temperament, metabolism and lifestyle. A weight loss program will work for one person and not for another. If you want to stop crash dieting, lose weight easily and stay slim forever then you have to focus your mind upon finding what suits your unique self.

To lose weight successfully you need to take account of your temperament, your motivational requirements, your metabolism and your lifestyle. One has to look at the whole picture and not just the single element of food (and drink) ingestion. The biggest issue of all therefore is the matter of getting your mind around the matter of weight loss.
